New from Google Labs: Google Information Security Catastrophe
John Paczkowski writes over on Good Morning, Silicon Valley (GMSV):
Given Google's recent encounter with the Department of Justice, does it honestly think we'll allow it to copy and store the contents of our hard drives even for the shortest of times? Because that's what we need to do to avail ourselves of one of the feature enhancements the search sovereign just added to its Desktop application.
Google Desktop 3.0 boasts a “Search Across Computers” function that allows it to search for items stored on multiple computers simultaneously. That's a compelling feature for those of us who use multiple computers, but one that works only if you agree to allow Google to store your hard drive index locally on its servers. For up to 30 days.
